Really didn't want to get out from under my nice warm duvet this morning, so "5 miles easy" didn't happen today. Still, my 7-days-training-per-week schedule is designed with this sort of lapse in mind, so no real damage done. May tack an extra mile or 2 onto my LSR to compensate.

good to hear you sounding more positive scooby - even if not actually fixed yet. it doesn't sound like you at all when you are feeling down!!

i've got a big test of my will power in implementation of my training schedule next week. i'm out for various work functions every night and every lunchtime. so the only time i can run is before work which i hate. but its the only time i can do it so i will. i'm aiming for 55km for the week and that wont happen if i dont run till the weekend!!

Good luck tomorrow, Gobi and RFJ at Gosport, AF at Downton, and anyone else racing

What: 8.6ml inc track session - 6 x 400, with longer recoveries than I get on Tuesdays; 4 x 1200m, just above tempo, 400m jog rec; pm 3.4ml recoveryWhy: to boost my Vo2 max, and then LT; and getting the miles in for enduranceIt was absolutely freezing this morning, but just now on my recovery run it was really mild. Strange weather!

I agree Tigger, I was wrapped up this morning for my run (ok mere trot) more than I have ever been before. Yet this afternoon we had drizzle so the weather has definately got milder.

Best of luck to all racing tomorrow.

M - thanks, I don't like being miserable as it doesn't actually achieve or help anything. Although still not ok, I am back to my old scheming ways as to getting back out there and that sits much better with me. So off to the gym I will go tomorrow. Best of luck with your plans. Like you, I don't get on with early morning running, but more because I am a creaky old hag bag first thing! I'm sure you will be fine once you adjust. :0) if you need a boot post here and we will all boot you out the door, but I bet you won;t need it. :0)
